In a Facebook post on Dec. 4, the Cave Springs police chief announced his resignation effective immediately.

Chief Michael Caudill wrote "I wanted to take a minute and thank the many supporters who follow this site. A Police Departments success is directly related to its citizens support and input."

Caudill wrote, "I also want to say a little something to those who have not been so happy with my decisions and direction of this department. Please understand that I have made all my decisions and changes to this Police Department based on 30 years of experience, and daily prayers with my Lord and Saviour (Jesus Christ). I do not look for perfection in others and hope that you understand and forgive me where I have not been perfect."
